13. the Scandals and Heresies of John XXIII 126 13. The Scandals and Heresies of John XXIII Yves Marsaudon, 33rd degree Scottish Rite Freemason: “The sense of universalism that is rampant in Rome these days is very close to our purpose for existence… with all our hearts we support the revolution of John XXIII.”1 John XXIII (Angelo Roncalli) - The man who called Vatican II and claimed to be pope from 1958-1963 Let’s examine some of the facts about Angelo Roncalli (John XXIII). Angelo Roncalli was born in 1881 and held diplomatic posts in Bulgaria, Turkey and France. Roncalli was also “Patriarch” of Venice. SOME OF JOHN XXIII’S ACTIVITIES BEFORE HIS “ELECTION” AS “POPE” IN 1958 For years the Holy Office had maintained a dossier on Angelo Roncalli (John XXIII) which read "suspected of Modernism." The file dated back to 1925, when Roncalli, who was known for his unorthodox teachings, was abruptly removed from his Professorship at the Lateran Seminary in mid-semester (he was accused of modernism) and shipped off to Bulgaria. This transfer to Bulgaria began his diplomatic career. Of particular concern to Rome was Roncalli's continuing, close association with the defrocked priest, Ernesto Buonaiuti, who was excommunicated for heresy in 1926.2 As early as 1926, Angelo Roncalli (John XXIII) wrote to one Orthodox Schismatic: "Catholics and Orthodox are not enemies, but brothers. We have the same faith; we share the same sacraments, and especially the Eucharist. We are divided by some disagreements concerning the divine constitution of the Church of Jesus Christ. The persons who were the cause of these disagreements have been dead for centuries. Let us abandon the old disputes and, each in his own domain, let us work to make our brothers good, by giving them good example. Later on, though traveling along different paths, we shall achieve union among the churches to form together the true and unique Church of our Lord Jesus Christ."3 This statement means that the one true Church has not yet been established. In 1935, Angelo Roncalli arrived in Turkey and became friends with the Under Secretary of the Foreign Office, Naman Rifat Menemengioglu.4 Menemengioglu said to Roncalli: The Scandals and Heresies of John XXIII 127 “The secularity of the State is our fundamental principle and the guarantee of our liberty.” Roncalli responded: “The Church will be careful not to infringe your liberty.”5 While in Turkey, Roncalli also stated: “You Irish are impossible. The moment you come into the world, even before you are baptized, you begin damning everybody who doesn’t belong to the Church, especially Protestants!”6 Here is another quote which demonstrates Roncalli’s heretical views: “The extreme anti-Catholic faction of the Greek Orthodox Church gleefully announced an agreement with the Church of England by which each recognized the validity of the other’s Holy Orders. But Roncalli was genuinely pleased. To the Greeks who slyly asked him what he thought of the arrangement, he said sincerely, ‘I have nothing but praise for our separated brothers for their zeal in taking a step toward the union of all Christians.’”7 Desmond O’Grady, former Vatican correspondent for the Washington Post, reported that while stationed in Istanbul in 1944 Roncalli “gave a sermon on a council to be held in the postwar period.”8 When Roncalli was Nuncio to France, he was appointed Observer for the Holy See to the United Nations cultural agency, UNESCO. In July 1951, he gave a speech “lavishly praising UNESCO…”9 Roncalli called UNESCO “this great international organization…”10 When Angelo Roncalli was the nuncio to France, he appointed a thirty-third degree Freemason and close friend, the Baron Yves Marsaudon, as head of the French branch of the Knights of Malta, a Catholic lay order.11 JOHN XXIII SAID TO BE A FREEMASON Yves Marsaudon, the aforementioned French Freemason and author, also claims that Roncalli [John XXIII] became a thirty-third degree Mason while a nuncio at France. Mary Ball Martinez wrote that the French Republican Guards from their posts observed: “…the Nuncio [Roncalli] in civilian clothes leaving his residence to attend the Thursday evening meetings of the Grand Orient [Masonic Lodge] of France. Whereas exposure to such a dramatic conflict of loyalties would unnerve the average man, be he Catholic or Freemason, Angelo Roncalli seems to have taken it in his stride.”12 The Magazine 30 Days also held an interview several years ago with the head of the Italian Freemasons. The Grand Master of the Grand Orient of Italy stated: “As for that, it seems that John XXIII was initiated (into a Masonic Lodge) in Paris and participated in the work of the Istanbul Workshops.”13 One time in Paris, “Msgr.” Roncalli attended a banquet and was seated next to a woman who was dressed in a very immodest low-cut gown. The company with Roncalli felt slightly ill at ease. The guests shot looks at the “Papal Nuncio.” Roncalli broke the silence by stating with humor: ”I can’t imagine why all the guests keep looking at me, a poor old sinner, when my neighbor, our charming hostess, is so much younger and more attractive.”14 When John XXIII was later “elevated” to the College of Cardinals, he insisted upon receiving the red hat from the atheist and notoriously anti-clerical socialist Vincent Auriol, President of the country of France, whom he had described as "an honest socialist." 15 The Scandals and Heresies of John XXIII 128 John XXIII, as a cardinal, choosing to receive his cardinal's hat from notorious Anti-Catholic Vincent Auriol Roncalli knelt before Auriol, and Auriol placed the cardinal’s biretta on Roncalli’s head. Auriol then hung a “broad red ribbon around the cardinal’s neck embracing him on each cheek with a little bear-hug that imparted personal warmth to formal protocol.”16 Auriol had to wipe away his tears with a handkerchief when Roncalli left to assume his new dignity as “cardinal.”17 At social functions in Paris, Roncalli (John XXIII) was also frequently seen socializing with the Soviet ambassador, M. Bogomolov, even though Bogomolov's government had resumed its pre- war policy of brutal extermination of Catholics in Russia. Angelo Roncalli (John XXIII) socializing with Catholic killer John XXIII was also known as a "good friend and confidant" of Edouard Herriot, Secretary of the Anti-Catholic Radical Socialists (of France).18 “Perhaps Roncalli’s greatest friend was the grand old socialist and anti-clerical, Edouard Herriot.”19 The Scandals and Heresies of John XXIII 129 John XXIII with Ed Herriot and other radicals Before Roncalli left Paris, he gave a farewell dinner for his friends. “The guests included politicians on the Right, the Left, and the Center united on this one occasion in their affection for their genial host.”20 When Roncalli was “Cardinal” of Venice, he “offered the Communists no grounds on which to criticize him. Habitual anti-clerical insults gave way to respectful silence.”21 While in Venice, “Cardinal” Roncalli “exhorted the faithful to welcome the Socialists of all Italy, who were holding their thirty-second party” in Venice.22 “The Patriarch (John XXIII) had notices placed on the walls all over Venice for the opening of the thirty-second Congress of the Socialist Party of Italy (PSI) in February, 1957. They read as follows: ‘I welcome the exceptional significance of this event, which is so important for the future of our country.’”23 Pope Pius XI, Quadragesimo Anno (#120), May 15, 1931: “No one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist.”24 Roncalli once spoke at the Venice town hall. He stated: “…I am happy to be here, even though there may be some present who do not call themselves Christians, but who can be acknowledged as such because of their good deeds.”25 This is blatantly heretical. The Scandals and Heresies of John XXIII 130 JOHN XXIII’S ACTIVITIES AND STATEMENTS AFTER HIS “ELECTION” AS “POPE” IN 1958 Shortly after being “elected” and moving into the Vatican, “John XXIII found an ancient statue of Hippolytus, an antipope of the Third Century. He had the statue restored and placed at the entrance of the Vatican Library.”26 “Disappointed faces appeared everywhere in St. Peter’s Square when John XXIII began his first papal blessing, for he hardly raised his arms. His sign of the cross seemed to the Romans a pitiful gesture, for he appeared to be moving his wrist at about hip level.”27 “John XXIII pronounced himself embarrassed at being addressed as ‘Holiness’ [or] ‘Holy Father’…”28 “For a long time, John XXIII said ‘I’ instead of ‘we’ in his official talks. Popes are expected to use ‘we’ and ‘us’ at least on official occasions.”29 When John XXIII published an encyclical on penance, it proclaimed no fast nor even any obligatory day of abstinence from food or secular pleasures.30 John XXIII said of himself: “I’m the Pope who keeps stepping on the accelerator.”31 John XXIII’s father was a winegrower. Speaking of his father, John XXIII said: ”There are only three ways a man can be ruined: women, gambling, and … farming. My father chose the most boring of the three.”32 JOHN XXIII ON HERETICS, SCHISMATICS AND NON-CATHOLICS John XXIII described what he thought the Second Vatican Council’s attitude toward the non- Catholic sects should be with these words: “We do not intend to conduct a trial of the past. We do not want to prove who was right or who was wrong. All we want to say is, ‘Let us come together; let us make an end of our divisions.’”33 His instructions to “Cardinal” Bea, head of the Council’s Secretariat for the Union of Christians, were, “We must leave aside, for the moment, those elements on which we differ.”34 One time a “congressman suddenly blurted out: ‘I’m a Baptist.’ Smiling John XXIII said, ‘Well, I’m John.’”35 John XXIII said to the non-Catholic Roger Schutz, founder of the ecumenical community at Taize (a non-Catholic, ecumenical monastery): "You are in the Church, be at peace." Schutz exclaimed: "But then, we are Catholics!" John XXIII said: "Yes; we are no longer separated."36 This is blatantly heretical.

You may listen online or download to your own computer. https://tinyurl.com/MSM-Papacy November 20, 2018 COUPLE OF POINTS FROM LAST CLASS 1. How Jurisdiction is lost by the Pope a. Involuntary i. Death ii. Perpetual Insanity b. Voluntary i. Resignation ii. Heresy or Apostasy 2. The legal means of establishing the loss of a Pope’s jurisdiction, i.e. loss of the Papacy itself a. Death – the top Cardinal, called the Camerlengo, certifies the death of a Pope, in the presence of other official witnesses b. Perpetual Insanity – probably in the manner as above, or by a convocation of the Cardinals c. Resignation – the Pope’s own statement. Unlike the resignation of Cardinals, Bishops, or other clergy, his resignation does not have to be accepted by anyone, whereas the higher authority must always accept a resignation for it to take effect in the case of anyone else. d. Heresy or Apostasy – the convocation of the Cardinals, or, in their default, the Bishops would have to declare this fact. TODAY’S CLASS 3. The Church is a Hierarchical, Monarchical Society a.

  • Miscellaneous: "Italy and the War." a Letter from a Roman
    MISCELLANEOUS. "ITALY AND THE WAR."—A DISCUSSION. A LETTER FROAt A ROMAN PATRIOT. (Translated from the Italian original by Percy F. jMorley.) To the Editor of The Open Court: "It is difficult to understand why Italy entered the war." Thus begins the article which you, esteemed Doctor, published under the title "Italy and the War," in the October (1915) number of the delightful and scholarly periodical so ably edited by you. Permit me, by a substitution of terms, to tell you that I find it really difficult to understand how Dr. Carus, whose rare capacity for penetrating and explaining spiritual events separated from us by hundreds or thousands of years, has not succeeded, nor is succeeding, in diag- nosing the facts of a contemporaneous event, even though remote in space, namely, the war into which Italy has now so willingly entered. The premises upon which you confess your inability to discover the mo- tives which could have induced Italy to take up arms against Austria, are two : first, the notable sense of aversion to war, and the irreducible pacifism of the Italian spirit, which factors, according to you, render our people unfit for the rigors of warfare, and which -were responsible for our military re- verses in the wars of independence ; in the second place, the fact that our real and dangerous rivals in the Mediterranean are the French and the Eng- lish, not the Germans or the Austrians. I hope you will not take offense at a clear and frank reply. First of all you fall, involuntarily no doubt, into a serious and unjust perversion of the facts of history, resurrecting, as you do, our military reverses of "49 and '66 and completely forgetting our brilliant campaign of '59 which led directly to the proclamation of the military sovereignty of Italy.

Armstrong Working Paper No. 2016-04 Version: 19 January, 2019 In the previous chapter, I outlined the different models of civil society which developed in the late medieval and early modern periods – the communicatio politica of the Medieval church and the societas civilis of Renaissance humanism. In this chapter, I will discuss the centuries- long development and reform of Catholic political doctrine in early and middle modernity,1 focussing particularly on the church’s conception of authority. It is of interest not just because this history informs the priest-leadership of the Antigonish Movement, but because it is the single most sustained intellectual debate we have about the nature and sources of authority in civil society. Unitary conceptions of sovereignty, whether of kingship or democracy, homogenize all political questions in terms of a single principle. Pluralist conceptions, on the other hand, provide for alternative answers built on different principles. The Augustinian theology of the heavenly and earthly cities is pluralist in this sense.

They also enjoyed a long- lasting friendship. What distinguished La Piana among his generation of scholars, who gave rise to the so-called “Modernist crisis,” was his choice to migrate to the United States, where he acted as a bridge between American and Italian culture. Notably, he translated George Foot Moore’s works into Italian and Buonaiuti’s essays into English for publication in the Harvard Theological Review. La Piana became a point of reference for some Italian scholars of the history of the church and religions who had studied under Buonaiuti (such as Alberto Pincherle, Mario Niccoli, Ambrogio Donini, Giorgio Della Vida, and Arturo Carlo Jemolo) and who had considerable problems with the fascist regime.

  • Bernardo and Vieri Guadagni and the Three Popes
    BERNARDO AND VIERI GUADAGNI AND THE THREE POPES Bernardo (1367-1434) and Vieri (1369-1426) Guadagni were two brothers, sons of Vieri Guadagni. Vieri Guadagni senior died very young, in 1368, a few months before Vieri Junior’s birth. Bernardo and Vieri were two years apart and had no other siblings because of their father’s premature death. Bernardo and Vieri both married, Bernardo three times, because he remained a widower twice, and Vieri two times, he was a widower once. Bernardo had seven children, and Vieri ten. We all descend, Guadagni, Torrigiani and Guadagni offshoots (like me), from one of Vieri’s sons, Simone. Bernardo and Vieri both held very important positions in the government of Florence and in the command of its army. Historian Passerini states that few citizens were employed by the Republic as much as Vieri was. He continuously had important offices and died gloriously for his city while storming the enemy fortress of Castelnuovo, close to Arezzo. At 57 years old, he charged bravely at the head of his soldiers, encouraging them to follow him up the enemy walls, until a bombard ball hit him, causing his death. His death was considered a public misfortune by the Republic of Florence. The city councils ordered that a most stately funeral be organized and paid for by the city, and that all the government officials accompany his bier to his tomb, in the Guadagni chapel of S. Martino in the church of Santissima Annunziata. Among the many public charges they occupied, both brothers were elected Gonfalonier of Justice (President of the Republic of Florence), Bernardo twice, and Vieri once.

  • From Jew to Puritan: the Emblematic Owl in Early English Culture
    FROM JEW TO PURITAN: THE EMBLEMATIC OWL IN EARLY ENGLISH CULTURE Brett D. Hirsch Puritan in Northamptonshire takes offence to his neighbour’s maypole and threatens to have it taken down, despite the anticipated costs of litigation. AHis neighbour is understandably taken aback by this confrontation, and after questioning the Puritan’s authority in the matter, takes his leave and returns to his home. He emerges soon after with an owl on his arm. Turning to the Puritan, he asks him to identify the bird he is holding: ‘An owl,’ is the response. ‘No,’ says the man, ‘’tis a Roundhead on my fist, I hope I may call my Bird what I list.’ The Puritan, fuming at this insult, brings his case before a Justice, who recog- nizes a man’s right to name his pets and dismisses the claim. This is the plot of My Bird is a Round-head, a broadside ballad printed in 1642, the infamous year in which the Puritan parliament succeeded in closing down the London theatres.1 The ballad, which features a custom woodcut depicting the man holding his owl next to the offending maypole (Figure 6), juxtaposes one Round- head against another: a Roundhead in the political sense (so named because of the distinctive haircut worn by the Puritan faction of parliament), and an owl, the only bird with its eyes on the front of its (round) face. The feathered Roundhead is shown to be ‘a gallant Bird’ (13. 5) that, unlike its Puritan namesake, ‘hurteth none’ (8. 5) and meddles not with State affaires, Or sets her neighbours by the eares, I wish to thank Anne and Chris Wortham, Gabriel Egan, David Scott Kastan, and Bruce Boehrer for their insightful comments and suggestions.

The popes had resided in Avignon for approximately 70 years due to political turmoil. The conclave was held amid scenes of unprecedented uproar.1 Since France had become the home of the popes for the last 70 years, the Roman mob surrounding the conclave was quite unruly and clamored for the cardinals to elect a Roman, or at least an Italian.
